Something Rotten!

Something Rotten June 21-30, 2024 at MLTlive.org
Book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell
Music and Lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick

“Something Rotten! is a hysterical, joyous celebration of everything you love about Broadway.”
Stageagent.com

Welcome to the Renaissance and the outrageous, crowd-pleasing musical farce, Something Rotten.  Created by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick, and successful screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, Something Rotten was lauded by audience members and critics alike, receiving several Best Musical nominations and hailed by Time Out New York as “the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years”.

Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as “The Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.

Mother of the Maid

Written by
Jane Anderson

The story of Joan of Arc’s mother, a sensible, hard-working, God-fearing peasant woman whose faith is upended as she deals with the baffling journey of her odd and extraordinary daughter.

This riveting play is an epic tale told through an unexpected and remarkable perspective. It’s hard to be a mother in the 15th century.

Produced by Elaine Leahy

A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder

A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder

“A murderous romp filled with unforgettable music, non-stop laughs…” (MTI)

The most-nominated show of the 2014 season, winning Best Musical at the Tony Awards as well as the Drama Desk Awards, the Outer Critics Circle Awards and the Drama League Awards.

Produced by Andrew Barnett Directed by Alexandra Dietrich
Music Direction by David Flowers

Low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he’s eighth in line for an earldom and figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight. Can he knock off his unsuspecting relatives without being caught and become the ninth Earl of Highhurst? And then there’s love, because murder isn’t the only thing on Monty’s mind….

“Inspired and hilarious. ‘A Gentleman’s Guide’ will lift the hearts of all those who’ve been pining for what sometimes seems a lost art form: musicals that match streams of memorable melody with fizzily witty turns of phrase.” – Charles Isherwood from New York Times

At Marblehead Little Theatre, 12 School Street, Marblehead
January 26 – February 4, 2024
